Summary
There are no fees. Expect a rustic experience: pit toilets are available, but there's no potable water, RV hookups, or electricity. Campsites include fire rings and picnic tables. Tucked in a peaceful, shaded forest near the scenic Chicopee River, it’s ideal for tent campers seeking solitude. Trails like the Tully Trail and nearby Tully Lake offer hiking, fishing, and paddling opportunities. Best visited May–October for mild weather and full trail access. This quiet, wooded retreat is perfect for nature lovers.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
